Panmunjon Corridor

Does anyone remember the Panmunjon Corridor? One of the strangest situations where both armies were prevented from attacking, but the North Koreans, at least, were able to move troops and supplies. Arranged as a part of the Panmunjon Security Agreement, it was designed to protect the negotiators from being caught up in the war.

It is easy to locate on a military map of Korea but hard to find out much about how the security of the area was maintained. Anyone remember?
